Anyone looking for an LT1 engine built for boost?

My boost-friendly motor for my 94 Formula is currently disassembled but is ready for assembly. I'm considering selling everything from it except for the heads. Is anyone looking for a very stout LT1 bottom end built to handle a lot of boost? Have a small-ish boost-friendly cam and other misc. top end pieces that could go with it too. I don't have a price in mind yet and am not positive I'm selling everything, just trying to see if there's actually a market for this around here.

Everything is brand new and has never been run. The machine work is excellent and it has a lot of nice parts. Just needs to be assembled.

Basic specs are as follows:

383ci
Machine work by Dave Harmon @ Enginecraft
LT1 block - fully prepped and machined w/ torque plates
4.030" bore
Water jackets 1/2 filled w/ hard block
4-bolt billet splayed mains
Deck square @ <20RA
Dura Bond HP Cam Bearings
ACL H-series Rod & Main Bearings

Internally Balanced Rotating Assembly
Cola 3.75" 4340 Forged Crank
6.0" 4340 Forged Rods w/ ARP2000 bolts (can't remember brand, they look identical to Lunati Pro Mod rods)
JE Forged Custom Blower Pistons (8.5:1 compression, I think they're about -31cc. These are not the cheaper SRP pistons)
Total Seal Stainless Steel Rings
ARP Studs throughout engine

Smoothed intake valley for better oil drainback
Melling High Pressure High Volume Oil Pump
Stock Oil Pan w/ -AN fitting for blower
 
If I sold the shortblock I'd part out the misc. other top end parts and such, but I'm not even sure if I want to do this yet and I would keep the oil pump with the shortblock.

As I said in the post I hadn't really thought of a price yet, but for the shortblock I'd probably ask around $3,750. These are high-dollar parts and the machine work wasn't exactly cheap either.
